Description

Nos 5 and 7 Bimport are early 19th-century buildings located on the north-west side of Bimport. No 5 is three storeys tall with two bays, while No 7 has two storeys and an attic with three bays. Both buildings feature slate roofs, with No 5 having a half hipped gable over the second-floor windows and one dormer in No 7. The front is made of ashlar stone, and there is a band above the ground floor in No 5. The glazing bars are intact, and each building has a six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight that has a rectangular tracery pattern. There is a boundary wall of stone between the two properties, which extends outward to dwarf stone walls and railings. Nos 1 to 7 (odd), along with the dwarf walls and railings in front of Nos 5 and 7, form a cohesive group.
